Netflix has illustrated that they are the perfect partners to accomplish this goal.”
The film is set to fetch Dwayne his first ever $20 million gig in film. It holds on record as one of Netflix most expensive feature undertakings to date, alongside ‘Six Underground’. Adding to the shift of production house announcement is Ryan Reynolds addition to the cast list, which Netflix Film head Stuber said in a statement, “We can’t wait to bring this story and this Dream Team of movie stars, Dwayne, Ryan and Gal, to audiences around the world.”
